"Hamas Proposes 10-to-1 Hostage-Prisoner Exchange in New Gaza Truce Plan"

Hamas has proposed a new three-phased ceasefire plan to end the war on Gaza, which includes the release of Israeli captives in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. The plan involves a series of stages, with the initial release of Israelis including women, children, the elderly, and ill captives in exchange for 700 to 1,000 Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails. Negotiations have faltered due to Israel's rejection of Hamas's demands, including a permanent ceasefire and the return of displaced Palestinians. Mediators from Qatar, Egypt, and the United States have been trying to narrow differences between the two parties, as a deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza has left a quarter of the population facing famine.
